    Hi, Enfold team.

    I´d like to remove the WordPress favicon of the website I´m just working on, so that no favicon appears at all.

    I already tried to find a solution through the Enfold documentation and other thread.
    In addition I installed and activated the wp-plugin “WP Favicon Remover” by Hiroaki Miyashita.
    Unfortunately without success.

    So I would be very grateful for your advice/help.

    Thanks in advance.

    Best regards,
    fkm

    Hey fkm,

    Thanks for contacting us!

    Please add following code to bottom Functions.php file of your child theme in Appearance > Editor

    
add_filter('avf_favicon_final_output','remove_avf_favicon_final_output');
function remove_avf_favicon_final_output(){
	$icon_link = "";
	return $icon_link;
}

    Best regards,

    Hi, Yigit.

    Thank you very much for your very quick response.

    I just tried but unfortunatelly it doesn´t work.
    Didn´t I do it correctly (please see the screenshot)?

    I also cleared the cache in the browser (in case it might have something to do with that).

    Thanks in advance.

    Best regards,

    Hi,

    It looks correct. I tried this on both child and parent theme and it works for me. If you are using a cache plugin please clear cache there as well and if that does not help, please share temporary admin logins so we can look into it :)

    Regards,

    Hi, Yigit.

    Thank you very much for your very quick response again.

    I just checked my plugins but unfortunately I’m not sure which one of them could be a page plugin and how to clear.
    So I´d like to come back to your suggestion and would be happy if you could have a look into it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Best regards,

    Hi,

    I could not figure out why default WP favicon shows up but I went to Appearance > Customizer and set the blank favicon image you uploaded in media as favicon. Would that work for you?

    Best regards,

    Hi, Yigit.

    Thank you very much for your quick reply and for your support.

    The blank favicon was my attempt to get around the favicon problem. :)
    But I think it looks a bit improvised.
    In addition, the WordPress favicon still appears on the smartphone view at the Google search results.

    If there is no better solution in my case, I will optionally use a white favicon as a placeholder, even if I would prefer the website without any favicon.

    Best regards,

    Hi,

    It should have been removed by function but it is still there even with the plugin so I am afraid I do not have better solution :/
